Nine of St. Joseph’s eighth-grade girls recently took part in GEMS, hosted by Southeast Tech in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Girls, Engineering, Mathematics and Science - GEMS - is a one-day workshop that offers girls the opportunity to explore careers in science-related fields.
The girls attended a presentation by a graphic designer, who uses computer science to do her job. The forum was sponsored by the Women in Science organization, which is dedicated to achieving equity and full participation for women in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Janis tries her hand at flying a virtual airplane. The girls learned to make pasta in a Food Science workshop. |
